Only joking, I don't think you actually meant that.

It's ironic that our local council cannot afford to light all the roads in our town (there are two roads from our local station. One is lit and the other has absolutely no lighting apart from a single bulb at one end despite the fact that most of the passengers use it), yet have enough money to maintain hanging baskets on most of the streetlamps.
Actually, back on topic. I personally have no objection to people doing community service being required to wear a uniform. I certainly don't think it would be more humiliating than wearing a uniform for a job.

You appear to have made several assumptions there. First that Chimaera was referring to everyone who supports human rights (she never said that, and I don't think she was), and second, that Chimaera was in the "String 'em up" group that seems to be present on this forum. I have met her on several occasions, and have spent many hours talking to her (on and off line). While we have never discussed it, I am sure she is not in the "string 'em up" brigade
